The Slipper has been the Autumn show piece for as long as I can remember.

There should be zero black type racing for 2yos before Christmas. 

They could take $800k off the Golden Gift, split it between the Champagne and Sires to make them worth the same and not detract from the Golden Gift's quality.  The Sires-Champagne double in Sydney may begin to feel some pressure from the Sires-Atkins double in Brisbane to attract the cream of the crop, especially if the BRC Sires re-gains G1 status as is their obvious aim and the two combined continue to be worth more than their Sydney counterparts.

This is why I talk at times of the " good old days " and I still have a hankering for them now , because it was straight forward and always separated the wheat from the Chaff , the Spring for colts , The Breeders Plate then 2 weeks later The Canonbury Stakes , the fillies, The Gimcrack the 2 weeks later The Widden Stakes , that was it till the Autumn , simples , every one knew where they stood ! in the Autumn came the Champagne then the Sires ( open to both sexes ) in /56 came the Golden Slipper to make the triple crown as its now known .

Yeah I saw those articles, interesting reads both of them but that aside, Australian racing is still weak at 1600m+, people need to look beyond the prize money line of thinking sometimes. 

But I can Shawy and I will, I'll keep saying it. I apologise that my views don't align with yours. Have a great day 

that should read dams or sires of

I know Djebel.  Sorry I should post more I have to download races world wide every day.

Jamal that comment shows you want reaction, not debate.

You are boring, and as you showed on Sunday you are a troll and a liar. I will try my hardest to not talk to you in any manner and on any thread including this one in the future.
